CLOTHrSTAMP-ING- MACHINE.

' 1o au 'whom 'it may concern:

Be it hnown that we, ANTON E. NinLsnN and limone); Giani-z, citizens of the United States, residing at N ew York city, N ew York, have invented certain new and useful ln'iproveinents in Cloth-Stamping ltachines,

of which the following is e clear, full, and

' prietorship at frequent intervals throughout its length, and the object of this invention is to pim'idean el'licent, economical-and convenient arrangementv for carrying out= this object. For the purposes of illustration we have shown our anangeiiient as i'or'ining a part of :i machine which per- -tornis no other function than that of staniping and folding` the cloth as it passes therethrouglnbut it is obvious that our arrange nient inay be also used as an attachment to other machines .euch as cloth winding niachiiies and the liiie.

Uur invention will he defined inore parH ticularly in the appended claims.

ln the embodiment shown in the drawings, figure l is a side elevation of the entire iiiachineyig is a iront elevation of that pa rt of the niachine which supports the stamping devices taken through section line 2-2 l; Fic'. 3 is a sectional view through line 3--3 Fig. i2; Fie'. 4 is a detached View et one of. the stamping niembers partly shown in section; `and Fig. 5 is a face view et' one ot' the stamps.

The main fit-aine olf the machine is indi! 'thence to the forward part of the machine between driving rollers G, and 7, `down through the lcuide il to the'table 10, upon which it is folded by the device hereinafter' described. At the rear portion of the inachine are two uprights 1A,l and between. these uprights. is located the stampinginechanism which acts to stamp any desir- Speecaton of Letters Betent.

able iigure or character upon the cloth at equal intervals. ln Fig. 2 i have shown the cloth as stamped by such an character, in the present case the letter A surrounded by a circle. Between the uprights l" and located. one at each side ofthe inecliine are two upright guide trainee 26 hevingl a. horizontal portion 26, and adiustably mounted in these guide. frames are sliding bearing blocks QS. These hlocls are supported in position hy the devices shown niore .particularly in Fig. 3, in which a hanger 29 threaded to engage the horizontal. .cross portion QG of the upright 2G extends downward and has a loose connection with.

the bearing block 2S. rl`his loose connection as shown consists et an enlarged portion upon the lower end oic the screw-spindle which is received in a recess in the bearing block so that the niovenient of .the iinpression cylinder toward the stamping de vices is liinited by the engagement et the upper wall or top ei" the saidl with the said eniargcd portion. This hanger may he operated by its hand wheel to lift or lower the bearing and block in its guide `liiuiu: as niay be desired. .fi spring 3l is shown between the bearing block and. the ui'iderside of the'cross piece to niaii ,in the bearing block normally in its lower pest tion, butvallowiiig it to yield upwardly. .Mounted in the bearing blocks 2S is the cloth roll. 2, and directly below this cloth roll and mounted in ixed bearings in lthe inain franie is the stainprarrying sheft il. Upon this shaft are mounted several 33. Fig. i shows-.the specific ot one of the stamping devices, and as there shown, consistsy of a, collar for surrounding .the shaft, l1 and adapted to'be fixed thereto by stud, Extending in opposite directions from said cellar .are tubuiar sleeves 34;; having a slit Sil, and inserted in this sleeve is the stein of the stamp, 'the face o ic which is indicated by 3Q. A collarv surrounds the slotted sleeve 3l, end hy ineens of u. stud screw 36 passing through de to tightly grip the stein et the stamp. upper portion. of this stein ifi-shawn as threaded and having in engagement with an adjusting nut 3T, which i purpose ofadjusting the np in an @ut of the sleeve rllie stein and the construction lil@ sleeve 3l preferably keyed to each other* to pre've -t the stamp from turning therein. es shown in Fig. i2 the stumps ere mounted ou the shaft 11 :it spaced intervals across 5 the Width of the cloth.

?.e'erring to Fie'. i2 it will 1oe seen that directly below the stamp-Carrying shelt are e series or" upright rods #l-C end slidehly mount` ed on said rods are e series o2 hearing blocks il, and mounted in seid hearing blocks are a series of hiking roils 42,. preferably three iii number, and having 'their peripheries in ooiitact. En 'aot these inlririg rolls rest upon each other oy their peripheries. Below the lowest inlring roll is shown attached to the mein frame au ink fountain 43. ln order to adjust the inking rolls toward and sway -rorii the stamping devices,

vided set screws 4:5' contacting and supporting the lowermost bearing vloek 421, und pairs o set screws 46 and 47 resting against the upper side oi' the uppermost bearing blocks el at each side of the machine. By loosening the set screws r6 and L7 and screwn ing up setscrews 45, it Wiilhe plainly un# derstood that the entire series or" biing blocks with their iulring rolls will De simulteneously adjusted upwardly. in ali arrangements Jfor stamping Cloth 3o has been found to be of the utmost importance that an accurate adjustment between the stahp and the cloth is necessary and also between the stem-p and its inlririgf roil. Otherwise if the stamp Weretoo close-'tothe cloth roll, it would in its rotation smear and injurethe cloth, and if it were too close to the inlring roll it would be 'injured by com tact therewith. In the present embodiment We have shown es above described the cloth roll adjustable toward and away from the stamping devices, and addition es mount ed in beer-ings which may ield in en up* ward direotion'swey from tlie stamping devices7 so that by no possibility een the stamps press against the cloth with too much force.

...filly convenient arrangement may he em-' ployed to drive the various operating parts oi this mechanism, hut in the preferred cousu struction which We have shown, e power slifit i2 driven by pulley 'i3 and belt 1i is mounted ou the main frame and is corinected to drive 'the stamp-carrying shaft 1i by means of meshing gears l5 und. 16. It is 555 secessery of course that the cloth roll as Well es the inlring rolls "oe driven. at the seme peripheral speed 'as the stamping devices, and therefore should be positively consented toerewith by some suitable gearing. We here shown gears 48, 4-9 and 50 Iriourfted on outer end of each one of the inlririg roll @site and meshing with other 'so that "'ie iulrieg rolls rotate together ell l rues. The gear 49 of the middle hiking roll is @-5 driven .i1-om the stemp-cerrjyiiiig shsil't il hy means of e elle `connecting chain 19. The roll@ we have pro- 'Wornrwheei being ,in 61, zuid en i justahly mounted ou the resin against this driven chain ir.. up the required sleep: in th rolls are adjusted. The ci from the stemprirryiug sli meshing gears 15 and l? s. hand side oiC l drives the drive roll 6 at the oi the machine by means of by peripheral Contact with the roll cooperating vwith roll 6 sets to pull t through the machine. folding mounted et the front of' the rau-3 eonsists of o. rocking erre 8 piro shaft 2Q and having guides 9) et end. driven by the ooi-oo.
